off topic but......

dude, spend a couple of days in dublin (nice city but
a bit up itself these days owing to too much new
money floating around) and then head west.
Cork is lovely (not the city) but the west of the county
along the coast, Kinsale, Skibbereen etc. Then head
to Kerry to the Dingle peninsula (very very nice) and
journey up the coast through Clare and Galway
(spanish point, doolin, ballyvaughan, carraroe,
clifden etc) you can also check ot the aran islands
too along the way (very wild and woolly).
On this route, you'll get great seafood, mad people,
brilliant guinness, wonderful traditional music and
some of the best scenery in Europe.

That, and its "progressive rockishness."Stern Smile

Why can't it make up its mind? Is it progressive, or is it rock?Angry

Only its hairdresser knows for sure....Wacko

Gee whiz guys, you really do not help when you joke about prog replacing a girlfriend

I'd really like a more balanced attitude in some people, some proggers seems to be so lonely and craving for love it's depressing

You should dream a lot less and focus on improving social skills and washing a bit more often...body odour and greasy hair sure attracts women duh.

Prog is a nice hobby, but god do not make it your center of life.

well, first, it is no more cool to flirt women in metros, shopping centers, libraries or everywhere. the new trend is meeting on the net: you browse, check some photos that you like and tadam: you send them a kind message. but i stopped to do this:  because i used to look for gorgeous women, the result was that i only met idiot beauties and/ or women who just look for one nights. a  solution sounding interesting was to participate to hiking events, but the girls are absolutely too young for me: 25 years old!! women of my age usually do not practice very much sports. the last solution is to meet at work, but the problem is that they are all engaged or they are too old, being on the verge of a retirement! considering all this, i prefer staying alone than being badly accompanied!

oh, i forgot: people in the bars are SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

STUPID!!

omg, please don't let that discussion come up about proggers not having social abilities .... I used to read in a gamers' forum (when i was younger ...) and the main thing most people wrote was about others spending too much time in front of the computer and loosing touch to society, and then alwasy those real life - virtuell life discussions

PLEASE DON'T START THAT TOPIC!!! SOMEONE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH HIS/HER HOBBY DOES NOT LOSE SOCIAL ABILITIES AS A CONSEQUENCE!!!!

just let the people do what they want to do, ok?  i think there are bigger problems than people that listen too much too prg music

Where did this all come from? All this stuff about depressed proggers craving love? I don't know about everyone else, but Prog is my hobby, and NOT my life, in the same way a friend of mine loves his cricket. Just because I'm a Progressive Rock fan does not mean I have social problems!.....I take things personally don't I?

Amen.  Though one thing to say - progheads attract progheads, and there can be no odd number of these weird species out there. No social skills never hurt anyone, except maybe the occurings of suicidal thoughts. But that's off topic. If you feel depressed because no one loves you, get a change. If you don't want to change and feel the need to kill yourself because there is a lack of affection, well you are a stubborn ass.

There's this whole "if someone is worth me they take me the way I am" clichéd sentence that I could not restrain myself from reciting.

I have to agree...i dislike the constant "Is it Prog/is it not..." discussions...brrrr. However, feuds like "Who is better: Howe or Hackett" make things very amusing

What I hate the most about prog is that you get addicted to it...you just can't stop buying more and more albums, it's horrible...
